Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 201
Holding the box in her hand, Gu Sixiao couldn't restrain her excitement, but she bit her lip, she didn't cry after all, she just hugged the box tighter, close to her body, as if it was a wrong hand, and the box would be snatched go the same.

Su Jingchun didn't speak, but hugged her from behind, silently pulling her into his arms.

All the way in silence, after a long time, Gu Sixiao suddenly turned around, "This time, how sure are you?"

Although Gu Sixiao asked vaguely, Su Jingchun understood, "This kind of thing is hard to say..." Gently brushing Gu Sixiao's hair, he smiled wryly: "It's either life or death—if you can't succeed, It seems that we are going to be a pair of mandarin ducks with the same fate."

They didn't deliberately say good things to appease Gu Sixiao, since Gu Sixiao insisted on participating in this year's Fan King Conference, they were destined to live and die together.

Gu Sixiao did not show any expression of fear, but after a moment of silence, she whispered: "If my Xue family is willing to support His Highness Prince Rui, what will His Highness Prince Rui promise our Xue family?"

Hearing such a question, Su Jingchun couldn't help laughing, "How much do you want to subsidize?!"

"One hundred thousand!"

"10 taels of silver? These silvers can buy a magistrate..." Su Jingchun was still joking, but didn't take this matter to heart.

Gu Sixiao shook her head, "It's not silver, but gold! My Xue family is willing to subsidize His Highness Prince Rui's 10 taels of gold in exchange for the safety of the Xue family forever. Will Prince Rui agree?!"

10 taels of gold is not a small amount, even Su Jingchun couldn't help being stunned, "Sixiao, have you discussed it with Senior Officer Xue?"

"As Prince Rui's adviser, shouldn't you be concerned about whether the money is really available?"

"I am Prince Rui's counselor, but I care about you more." Su Jingchun said softly, "You really don't have to do this. If I do the things that ruin the boat, I'll forget it."

"What's the difference? Su's family and Xue's family are already connected because of me. As you said, you must live or die. If you want me to break ties with you immediately and break the engagement, I feel reluctant—— In fact, that might be the best choice for the Xue family. However, even if the marriage contract is broken, if I die in Beijing, how can Zheng Xuan let the Xue family go. If this is the case, we can only do it once. If Prince Rui succeeds, the Xue family will still have a credit for sponsoring, I think Prince Rui will not be too ruthless."

Su Jingchun sighed softly, embraced Gu Sixiao, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Prince Rui has me."

Although I made such a plan, I didn't discuss it with anyone.Gu Sixiao did not discuss this matter with Mrs. Xue.

The old lady is a strong woman, but she might not be able to bear this kind of thing, if she yells, it will ruin the Xue family.

Although Xue Wen is half healed now, it is still inconvenient for him to move, and he can't even speak very clearly.

But when Gu Sixiao knelt in front of him and explained these things one by one, he held Gu Sixiao's hand tightly, "Hua'er, since I—— hand over the house to you, then naturally Believe in you—you forced me, after all, you are young, dare to fight this time..."

The words were intermittent, but the meaning was clear. Xue Wen untied the key from his waist and put it in Gu Sixiao's hand, "Grandma gave me the key again before, but this key should be in your hand." Up……"

After taking the key, Gu Sixiao only felt heavy.

Now, the fate of the Xue family is in her hands.

It's fine if she wins the bet this time, but if she loses the bet...

Closing her eyes, she tightened her hands, "Father, this time when I go to Beijing, I will send a letter to the Su family. If something happens, the senior officials of the Su family will come to you, and you will act according to his words." that is."

"What are you afraid of? Daddy already looks like this—there are two children, Huaer. If there is an emergency, you ask people from the Su family to take the two children away, which can be regarded as leaving a root for the Xue family..."

Nodding her head heavily, Gu Sixiao almost shed tears when she left.

The matter of opening the treasury was done in a very secretive way, but there was no way to keep a low profile when the 10 taels of gold was shipped out of Jinan City.

It was Gu Sixiao who thought of a way to dye the 10 taels of gold with a layer of copper, and then found someone to pretend to be a merchant from other places, and negotiated a big deal with a copper shop in Jinan City. Carloads of brass were shipped out.

But even so, this large batch of brass transactions still alarmed the government.

It should be noted that copper is used to make money. Although folks allow buying and selling, such a large amount of trading is rare.

It was Su Jingchun who was clever, and prepared the documents early in the morning, but it was the official documents from Dongying.After seeing the official documents, the Jinan government let them go, although they were still suspicious.

Within five days after the 10 taels of gold were transported, Gu Sixiao also set off for Beijing.Moreover, she was really walking with Lin Mo Niang.

Although they have been invited before, but they are really traveling together, but Lin Mo Niang is not so enthusiastic.

"I heard that Mr. Su has returned to Jinan City?"

"Really? Who said that? I don't know!" Clenching his fists, Gu Sixiao looked angrily, "The Su family is really too much! Su Jingchun didn't even know me when he came back? I'll go find him right away theory."

Hurriedly pulling Gu Sixiao back, Lin Mo Niang smiled wryly, "It's all out of the city gate, how do you go back? You know, my convoy can't turn around."

If the wedding procession turns around, it is inauspicious, implying that the bride will be divorced and returned to her natal home.Naturally, Lin Mo Niang would not let the team turn around anyway, and Gu Sixiao knew this too.

Although she was grabbed by Lin Mo Niang, Gu Sixiao still had an angry expression on her face, "I just said that this marriage is probably going to be dirty..."

Looking at her expression, it didn't look like she was being fake. Lin Mo Niang tried to persuade her a few words, but she thought to herself that the people on the side of Shizi were also strange, why did she have to test this?

Gu Sixiao snorted coldly in her heart.

When Su Jingchun returned to Jinan, he was extremely secretive when he was away from Jinan, and he had never had contact with outsiders at all.Even if Zheng Xuan's people have doubts, there should be no real evidence.Then she can say whatever she wants, not just whatever she wants.

Everyone has their own thoughts, but they walk together all the way, but on the surface they are very harmonious. Even the people in the motorcade who are sending the wedding to the Lin family feel that their little lady is really in love with the sisters of the Xue family. The sisters were right.

Well, not all the servants of the Xue family are so easy to get along with, especially that handsome servant.Really, why does Miss Gu have such a handsome servant by her side? If her fiancé's family finds out, don't make trouble? !

Apart from a few servants of Xue's family, Su Mei followed Gu Sixiao to Beijing.

Su Mei is not like Su Zhu, who always follows Su Jingchun, and unlike Su Song, who walks around various businesses all the year round, not many outsiders know him, so she can just pretend to be a servant of Xue's family.

However, no matter how he dresses up, he can't hide his feminine and handsome face. Along the way, not only Qiaoer showed courteousness, but also the maids of the Lin family were very fond of it. From time to time, Su Mei became a convoy. The person with the most presence is more eye-catching than the two little ladies.

I traveled at the end of March and arrived in Beijing in early May.

From a distance, Gu Sixiao couldn't help being shocked when he saw the shadow falling down.

In this majestic capital city, the shadow of one city wall alone is more than a dozen miles long. When the shadow covered it, she thought it was cloudy!

Lin Mo Niang, who had been here before, looked at her expression, but covered her lips and smiled at her, "When I first came back, I was shocked just like you. The more times I came, the more I regarded it as normal."

"How can I compare with my sister? This is my first time in Beijing." Gu Sixiao smiled, but her hands hidden in her sleeves were tightly clenched into fists.

She is finally here!
In this capital city, there are her enemies and close relatives. Everything will end here, whether it is life or death, her story ends here...

There was an exclamation from outside the car, Qiaoer looked sideways, only a dust cloud in the distance, "It seems to be some kind of horse team..."

Lin Mo Niang turned her body, looked at it, and immediately let out a little snort, "It seems to be someone from the army, strange, I don't know who it is—quickly, put down the curtain."

As soon as the curtain was lowered, the cavalry that approached from far away could not be seen, but passers-by outside could only be heard talking one after another:

"It seems to be coming from Daxiying!"

"Haven't you heard? A while ago, the great victory at Daxiying was ordered to come back to receive the reward!"

West Camp? !

Gu Sixiao's heart moved, she opened the curtains and looked out.

"Hua'er, quickly put down the curtains, a group of soldiers, what's there to see..."

Lin Mo Niang frowned and called out, but Gu Sixiao didn't pay attention at all, and still looked out.

At this moment, they are approaching the city wall.

In front of the tall city gate, there are two large gates inlaid with huge copper nails.

Even a man standing in front of the door and standing on tiptoe may not be able to reach the lowest row of copper nails.

At the gate of the city, soldiers in iron armor patrolled back and forth. Although not every citizen who entered the city was searched, the lightning-like eyes and the sharp steel knife at the waist were enough to deter people.

The cavalry that flew over passed the ordinary caravans, as well as the common people in groups, but were blocked in front of the city gate.

Although this cavalry team was obviously wearing Daxia army armor, they were actually wearing fierce blades, and they would never be easily put into the capital unless they checked carefully.

Gu Sixiao poked his head out, his eyes only searching the cavalry.

It's a soldier from Daxi camp, I don't know if there is brother Tiancang!
Looking far and wide, he didn't see the boy in his memory in the cavalry.

Somewhat disappointed, she withdrew her gaze and was about to put down the curtain, but Lin Mo Niang had already angrily called her name: "Huaer——"

In the cavalry in the distance, a person suddenly turned his head back. Gu Sixiao, who was hanging the curtains, had a flash in his eyes, and his hands were half a minute slower.

Looking closely, that calm face seemed familiar, but how could the mighty general on the horse be the little beggar she knew? !

How could he be? !

His eyes flickered, and Gu Sixiao was wondering in his heart that the general had already turned his head to whisper a few words.A middle-aged general in front of him turned his head with a smile and looked over from afar, with a smile on his lips and curiosity in his eyes.

I don't know what he said, but the young general who looked like Sun Tiancang smiled and nodded, and immediately turned his horse's head and ran towards them.

Seeing him galloping towards him, Gu Sixiao's heart beat wildly, and he could no longer suppress the excitement.

"But, but Brother Tiancang?!" Asking loudly, she leaned out half of her body, not paying attention to Lin Mo Niang's darkened face behind her.
